The value of art lies in its power to increase our moral force or establish its heightening influence.

The fundamental grey which differentiates the masters, expresses them and is the soul of all colour.

While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt.

My originality consists in putting the logic of the visible to the service of the invisible.
